Story Synopsis:
Tremors stars Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward as Valentine McKae and Earl Bassett, two country handymen who discover that their desolate town of Perfection, Nevada, is infested with gigantic man-eating worm-like creatures, dubbed “Graboids,” that live below the ground. The slightest vibration provokes the creatures to attack, exploding out of the ground with jaws open to devour with deadly precision. The two team up with a group of zany characters to find a way to destroy the subterranean creatures.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is matted at 1.85:1 and image quality is exemplary in all respects.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has good surround envelopment with effects in stereo that are often complemented when the music is expansive and enveloping. But bass extension is not as deep as one would want, especially when the Graboids attack, and dialogue is poorly ADRed.
